No you are just the exception. I personally hate you mainly cuz I hate ignorant people. If you hate the Raptors so much, why do you even have an account on this site? Idiots these days don't make any sense to me.

Before all that hate, just remember.. It doesn't matter whether or not you do a bad job or not.

We traded Barbosa. T Ross as a backup SG?
While Ross may not have as high a ceiling as Drummond -I firmly believe Ross can become part of our rotation much sooner.
Would Drummond have more trade value? Probably. Unfortunately we don't know what trades/offer were on table.
IMO Ross was much better choice than Rivers or Lamb. Time will show if BC was right.

I've defended BC a number of times. However, I do think if the Raps fail to make the playoffs this year, it might be time to move on. It all depends on the circumstances that surround the as yet unplayed season.

As for Bosh, I do place blame with BC. Unfortunately, the Raps (and Cavs) were guinea pigs for a new age in the NBA where players in their prime did not accept max money and years to stay. What happened in Utah and Denver is a direct result of what happened in Toronto and Cleveland. If your star player does not accept a max extension, trade him.

It is unfortunate the Raps had to be the test case for the league.

Unfortunately we know that now.
Utah & Denver should perhaps send Raps & Cavs something as a "thank you" for a very valuable lesson.

The only problem I have with getting rid of BC is fear of losing Casey.

I just don't want another version of what BC did with Sam Mitchell. Sam wasn't BC's "Guy". That was pretty well known from the minute BC came on board. I remember all kinds of D'Antoni rumors at the time. After 2 pretty successful seasons over .500 (we dream of .500 seasons now lol) and a coach of the year BC waited till they had a mediocre start to that 08/09 season and pulled the plug. Then we had to suffer through Triano's reign and finally got a good coach. I am sure there was a lot of other stuff going on with Mitchell but to me he was always considered a lame duck coach by BC. I just hope that Casey would not get the same treatment.

The Raps do make money under Colangelo. But if attendance is any indication, money has been dropping year after year.

The Raps don't need Bryan Colangelo to make money. GMs don't have anything to do with making money other than managing the cost of player salaries (which is budgeted by ownership in any case) and putting a winning team on the floor cause winners sell more tickets, have playoff games, get better ratings, etc. He hasn't done that in 5 years. As I've said before, I have no idea what value he has brought to the franchise other than he is respected by "them" (even though, mysteriously, that hasn't resulted in any big time free agents or other players wanting to be traded here or signing with the team). I guess he gets more invitations to cocktail parties than David Kahn?

Raps will continue to suck for years

It's Jemain O'neil for Hibbert again... in 3-4 years Iggy/Deng will be done and Kyle may end up being a top lottery pick for Rockets. I like Lowry but lets hope he stays healthy, and not too much like his best buddy Alvin williams who played so hard his body broke down for good.

Sure they got two lottery picks and added Kyle L (26) and Fields - maybe?? (24) but at the end of the Day if you can't keep players in their prime 25-32 sort of age you will be in the endless cycle of lottery.

We have seen so many other teams build themselves since the Raps have fallen out of the playoffs. Orlando, Pacers, thunder etc.. and BC to save his job is going for broke in order to maybe land 5th or 6th seed in the next year or two.... That is why I am not in favor of Trading Davis or Derozen. Unless there is some comparable youth coming back.

I am not in favor of throwing in the towel on the best defensive player on the team JJ.

when we got JO he was already broken and it was a stupid trade because they were banking on him magically being healthy again and having a impact. iggy has more than 3 or 4 years left and he isn't injured to begin with.

Bayless, DeRo, Davis, Johnson, Johnson, and Alabi will combine for 0 all star games over the course of their careers. Worrying about losing these guys is like getting upset that Triano is no longer the coach
